List claims QPac is good for the socially awkward

Are Quinnipiac students urinating all over New Haven because they become nervous in social contexts and act out accordingly? Maybe.

According to a list on insidecollege.com, posted to the Huffington Post on Monday, Quinnipiac University has made the cut the best schools for a socially awkward student. At these schools, including Carnegie Mellon and Boston University, shy and awkward students can supposedly find comfort among students who are similarly shy and awkward. Together, they blossom.

But just how these schools were selected is a little fishy. The lists are created by a Denver educational consultant named Steve Antonoff in collaboration with Alloy Media, the producers of the popular TV-series Gossip Girl. With no clear methodology, even we have to say the verity of this list is questionable — after all, Harvard didn’t make the cut.

    Honestly, it all depends on what you define as “awkward.” QU actually tends to be filled with the kids who were popular but dumb in high school, and can only talk about sports and pop culture, which in the definition of most people is NOT typically considered “socially awkward.” Its actually good preparation for the real world. Oh yes, and getting messed up is what most college students like to do.

    First off it is hilarious you are using Arianna Huffington’s liberal propaganda “website” as a reputable source. Secondly, Yale Business students have some of the worst soft skills I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Running a meeting with one is borderline impossible. I will end this rant before I even delve in to the night time social scene in New Haven I am forced to share with your kind. Yaleians isn’t a Quinnipiac word folks.

    P.S. I piss on your dorm door handles every chance I get.

    Quinnipiac is where you go if you don’t get into Yale. Or Lehigh. Or BC. Or BU. Or . . . .

    I like how every time the YDN talks about QPac, they mention public urination and all the Qpackers are just like, “RAAAAAAGEEEEEE!” And the next time the YDN has a similar story, they’re just like…. “Urination? Hmm? What?”
